Rock School; American Music Fairness Act

Adams, Adam Lee, Adamowski, Buehler, Burns, Burns, Burns. Skulls, I fall in love, I've got a fan, so paid, I'm a teacher. Hey Joe, where you going with that mic in your hand? It's time for school, Rock School, with your hosts, Dr. Joe Burns. Then you're going to have trouble. What is still around, you're going to harm. Then where are you going to go get your money? Therein lies the question. Class is in. This is the Rock School Radio Show, the Rock

School Radio Network. I'm Joe Burns, you are. Tammy Burns. Keep in mind, this is being brought to you, at least in part, by the Corporation for Public Broadcast, the CPB. You, Tammy, have you ever heard of HR 4130, the American Music Fairness Act of 2022? Well, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Were you whistling it on the way into the studio? No, I haven't. It's going to take me a break or so to set this whole thing up. I teach a class on podcasting. This is a podcast. I turn this radio show into a podcast. The thing is, in that podcasting class, I talk about radio. And so many of my students are so proud to proclaim nobody listens to the radio anymore. Yeah, you believe that? Oh, radio's dead. You think so? Here are a few facts. Look them up yourself. About 8 in 10 Americans, 12 ages, or older, listen to terrestrial radio in a given week. Nearly

half of US adults say they sometimes or often get their news from the radio. It is almost 90 % when something goes wrong, like a hurricane, like a war. People go to the radio first, and I know what some of you are saying. I would never do that. Yeah, you may not. That's the problem with research. Somebody goes out and talks to 7 ,000 people and says, of the 7 ,000 people this. And people then go, well, I don't do that. And that's the whole thing is just pushed aside. And that's not the way it works. More Americans listen to the radio than Facebook each week. Wow. 55 % of Gen Z in the US listen to AMFM radio every day. Adults listen to 104 minutes of radio per day, 12 .2 hours per week. The radio industry sees growth through smart speakers and online listening. 100 million Americans own a smart speaker. Radio holds the highest share of collective trust across all advertising channels. 70 % of listeners would try a

brand or product endorsed by their favorite radio personality. And I'm positive that includes talk radio. Takes 2 .4 days on average for audio and listeners to take action on that item. Global radio ad spend is 36 .1 billion. Average cost of a radio ad in the US is $513. 47 % of listeners believe radio ads are a fair trade for their listening time. Much higher than radio. Heck of a list. And the point of the list is to point out to you that in no way is radio dead. Here's the thing. This radio fairness act. I know it came out in 2022. But the wheels of justice and the government move slowly. So this thing is back in front of the Congress. What's it trying to do? It's trying to tax radio. It's trying to gain money from somewhere.

And over here is radio that has a specific relationship to the music and the items it plays. And I'm going to tell you what that is. I dealt with it legally for 12 years when I ran radio stations. And I think you're going to find, at the end of the show, that you're going to be against this fairness act. I get the pretty words. American. Music. Fairness. Yes. Act. It's mislabeled. It's pretty words. I'm going to tell you what it is. I'm going to tell you what the point of it is. I'm going to tell you why it's going to hurt the business. And this idea that, well, who cares if it destroys radio? Radio's dead anyway. Except it's not. Those of you who are listening to any one of our 36 subscribers out there. Here you go. How dead is it? You're listening to it. Okay? So look, we're going to play some songs today. Talk about the radio. So we will go into Donald Fagans the night fly. But first, a little bit of Monty Python.

Music. I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they won't play this new song. It's not that it's, or controversial. Just that the, in words are awfully strong. You can't say on the radio. Or, or, or. You can't even say I'd like to. You someday, unless you're a doctor with a very large. So I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they didn't. In well -programmed it. I bet you they're in old program directors. Who think it's a load of horse? I bet you they

won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. I bet you they won't play this song on the radio. Could you hear this sec of the navy. So you save and erase of man and the trees. Your foot, your son, legislation. Thanks forarm. Wait on my. The calls like. With jazz and conversation, from the foot of Mt. Bell, some sweet news tonight, the night is mine

Late night, till the sun goes to the stars, the skyline I've got plenty of junk and just the field keys, but I feel like crying I wish I had a heart of eyes, a heart like eyes If you want your honey to look through a swell, you must scream for that blue job, hands -kiss and the kiss and tear

With jazz and conversation, from the foot of Mt. Bell, some sweet news Tonight, the night is mine, late night, till the sun goes to the stars, the skyline You'd never believe it, but once there was a

time when love was in my life I sometimes wonder what happened to that thing, the answer's still the same It was you, tonight you're still on my mind I've got plenty of junk and just the field keys, but I feel like crying With jazz and

conversation, from the foot of Mt. Bell, some sweet news Tonight, the night is mine, late night, till the sun goes to the stars, the skyline Talking about the American Music Fairness Act of 2022 It's back before Congress, and if you do just a quick search for it, you're going to find a ton of radio stations and radio subscribers saying, look, you can't do this This is going to harm people, there are three kinds of markets in radio, they're called P1, P2 and P3, parallel one, parallel two and parallel three parallel one are radio stations that have a listening audience, a possible listening audience of

a million or more P2, which is where I worked the whole way through, was 100 ,000 people, two just under a million, and then everything in P3 is under 100 ,000 people This is where radio shines, some little town of 30 ,000, like the one you and I live in, Hammond, Louisiana, it's got four radio stations in it And it's no, you're not going to make a ton of cash, so if somebody comes along and says hey, there's a place over there to get tax, why don't we change the way radio was created and the way it works and all of that and grab some money And if it dies, well, so what, nobody listens to the radio anymore, wrong, absolutely Let me give you some more, broadcaster radio continues to eclipse every other source for new music discovery A 2020 Nielsen US music 360 study found that 7 in 10 music listeners use the radio to discover new music However, Florida congressman

22nd district Ted Deutsch introduced a bill that would tax radio stations for the music being played Once it came out, the American Federation of Musicians went to congress hoping to get better compensation for music creators and artists for their work Okay, why don't they have to do that? Well, I think number one, because that's not the way it has been since the beginning of the business Here's the agreed upon idea radio would offer free promotion it costs you nothing to get on a radio station The thing about it is if there's free promotion for the music then you shouldn't have to pay the artists for playing their songs Basically, we're doing you the favor of playing your songs thus we should not be charged for playing them Now that's in it in a bit of a nutshell, but the thing is it's not radio that's

causing musicians to lose money It's the fact that the idea of music sales has died There used to be two strong venues of income for a musician, the sale of their music and then live With a sale of their music is gone nobody buys music anymore and I know there's some of you are going to say I buy records You are truly in the minority most people don't buy music they buy access to music Here's five bucks a month go and listen to anyone of a billion songs on Spotify And the thing is during this year you're going to watch because it's this thing that it can never be better than Yahoo Google It can never be better than Ask Jeaves Google it can never be better than this online store Amazon Spotify will never go away TikTok TikTok is beginning to go and make inroads to Spotify Wow And it's not just going to be

that Spotify you know goes away It's just going to be eclipsed because people like me like Spotify young people don't Well, that's not quite right. They like TikTok better And TikTok is going to deliver them their music but furthermore when you go into Spotify You pick the music oh sure it'll suggest some things for you TikTok has the greatest algorithm ever created And what it's going to start doing is giving you the music that you want to hear that you didn't even know you wanted to hear it And they're going to start basing it on time of day, how you're feeling, what you're doing on other apps And it's going to basically hand you the music And a lot of young people are going to like that a heck of a lot more than me scrolling through my list from 2023 Okay, I'll listen to that well it's TikTok going to give me you know all of the things that

I listen to the podcast Of course they're going to do that as well sure it'll give you everything but the thing about it is What it will do is give it to you when you want it and you say well Joe that silly no it's not How many people wear an Apple watch that you know well you know that Apple watch can take your blood pressure And furthermore it can take your heartbeat imagine when the watch can read your sweat and Can figure out what your hormones are and through that how you feeling right how are you happy? Are you this are you that temperature and all that oh yeah and by AI AI doesn't think what it does is it tries no it'll like that fine We'll remember that try this I don't like that will remember that try this I like that We'll remember that it's just groundhog day you know bill Murray learn to play the piano over years Right but it was trial and error day after day after day so now you've got something simply giving you what you want And Spotify which is the face of music companies

anyway is just going to continue being the face of music companies But it shouldn't go after radio There's the reason artists aren't making a money is not the radio it's the fact that the station or the record companies no longer have a stream of music that is being sold They can't make money that way and furthermore when you sign up you don't get a straightforward contract you get a 360 contract which means they can bite of everything That is the concern so why tax radio oh I'll tell you here's Charlie door pilot of the way Here is my request I used to play that in the morning you remember that oh yes that was annoying oh I look up the air waves here is my request you don't have to play it but I hope you'll do your best I've been listening to you show on the radio and you seem like

a friend to me Oh the record of your choice I don't mind I'd be happy just to hear your voice say and this is for the girl who will sign her name Guess she needs a dedication just the same Late at night I'm still listening don't waste my time chasing sleep People say I look weird but that's just the company I keep Oh you make the night time race oh I don't need to see your face and sounding good sounding good sounding good to me pilot of the airways here is my request you don't have to play it but I hope you'll do your best I've been listening to you show on the

radio and you seem like a friend to me Oh the record of your choice I don't mind I'd be happy just to hear your voice I've been listening to you show on the radio and you seem like a friend to me Oh the record of your choice I don't mind I'd be happy just to hear your voice Oh you make the night time race oh I don't need to see your face and sounding good sounding good sounding good to me my sound is so good to me pilot of the airways here is my request you don't have

to play it but I hope you'll do your best I've been listening to you show on the radio and you seem like a friend to me Oh I've been listening to you show on the radio and you seem like a friend to me Oh play that song for me why don't you just play that song for me coming into the first break because the songs were long and I would not shut

up what is this American music fairness act terribly labeled here we go when music is played on a streaming platform everybody artistically involved with the songs creation gets paid a small royalty and I mean small now we could talk about how Apple music plays pays a little more Spotify pays a little less YouTube blah blah blah blah but generally it's a very small amount when somebody streams your music like 0 .003 of a penny and the thing is all that gets split between goodness knows so you get played 300 times now you got a penny that penny is then split between however many people it is okay when music gets played on terrestrial AM FM radio only the songwriter gets paid and you say you said you didn't pay anything we do have to pay BMI rights at least every radio station I was at paid BMI rights so once maybe twice a year

that I remember we had to basically write down every single song that we played including the music behind commercials and such and then send it off to BMI broadcast music international the thing is that that's that was what was paid but it was always a blanket fee you could choose to pay song to song but it was always one of these weird numbers and such or you paid a blanket fee and honestly I don't remember what any of the blanket fees were I didn't I didn't pay them you didn't write the check no I didn't write the check my bosses wrote the check but I made sure all of my jocks did it and I kept track of who they were playing and that was all given to him I think now it was twice a year that we did it however it was only the songwriter not the actual performing artist but why well that was the deal the deal was we're giving you free promotion we're playing your song and that free promotion meant sales

well now there's no more sales that's not our fault that's not radios fault don't come in and tax the radio stuff without us before streaming that that was the idea the American Music Fairness Act would require terrestrial radio to pay musical performing artist for spinning their songs no absolutely not the exemption is carved out for smaller radio stations remember me talking about P1 P2 P3 yeah the P3s would have a very difficult time paying this tax they're even admitting it so they're saying they're going to ask for $500 yearly for smaller record or smaller radio stations okay okay if look if you want to do 500 bucks a year on all radio stations we could somehow absorb that but you're going to start to put stations out of business wow absolutely by the way a Senate version was introduced a year after my senator Alex Padilla I think it's either Padilla or Padilla I'm not sure I don't know the guy so that's what they want things have happened over here

that have changed radio itself has not changed but oh look at this over here music has changed it's now streaming it's all the kind of stuff geez we're in trouble here what should we do oh let's go tax that person wow that's terrible yeah I think it's wrong too I think it's quite quite wrong and what drives me crazy as I have read multiple times and my students have said it who cares radio is dead it is in no way dead absolutely who's listening to us KNHS Lafayette Louisiana beautiful back in a minute here on rock school coming out of the break here's a concern you're going to tax

a business out of business and once the business is over or radio stations just don't play as much music then you're going to have trouble what is still around you're going to harm then where are you going to go get your money there in lies the question when people testified before Congress they told the truth it's going to mean cutting costs somewhere or as I suggested just you don't play as much music and furthermore it may mean only playing top tier artists on the radio because you know those songs will work stations like my station we would always try new groups we would always try new acts do you remember the indigo girls oh yeah I love them I tried to get my audience to like the indigo girls I must I got them on the air I interviewed them I played their stuff I pitched it this is really great I I could not get them traction if I had to pay money for it I would maybe try the indigo girls once

and then not again because why not play the who that everybody knows and everybody loves you you just create like classic rock stations 90 stations listen to the hits then exactly and then and then it becomes the idea of why should I listen to your hit jukebox when I can listen to mine yeah and you only go with tried and tested and on comes guns and roses for the next hundred times a wait a minute why don't you play five finger death punch ooh I'm not sure my people like it but they do like guns and roses aren't they sick of guns and roses by now it's you got ten of the songs in the rotation guess who's really big on the tax sound exchange guess who else is really big on the tax music first guess who else is really high on the tax the streaming services the streaming services are paying that zero zero three I've told you this before on the air that are on this podcast that right now

music companies are making more money than they ever did selling what they call hard product records cassette CDs and you say that that can't be so what absolutely is because when you bought records you may buy three records at Christmas and then not buy another record until March whereas streaming what do we pay for a family streaming sixteen seventeen bucks something like that every month without fail seventeen bucks seventeen bucks seventeen bucks all these kids who are signed up for Spotify through the student account oh it's only four ninety nine five bucks so how many kids are at my school sixteen thousand right there you go how many are at LSU forty eight thousand oh yeah how many are down the street at Monroe another sixteen how many are down it Louis yeah just a lot of kids we're talking hundreds of thousands of kids and that's just the kids in college so these places want them this tax would make it so some of the onus would be off them why don't they pay their people more I don't know

why don't you go tax them oh why don't you bring up the point zero zero three and talks tax the people who are doing wrong don't come after the radio who isn't doing anything wrong isn't doing anything different than we've ever done just just just what Joe thinks does radio not have a big enough voice behind them to help them out I don't know I got to be honest with you it is a local medium it is not a national medium it's a local medium the stations that serve this little town of ham and serve it very well but once you get twenty miles north twenty miles south east west you got a whole other place then it's New Orleans and then over there it's Baton Rouge and and such so it's serving this little bit and I know these stations I mean they operate as a business but if I just walk in all of a sudden say oh by the way you have to now outlie another fifteen percent to pay the people you're playing they'd play less music you need you need a Howard Stern

to get everybody together and say no we're not doing this here's a thing about Howard Stern yeah I know he's mainly talk right don't play anything except music you have created for you that way you're not paying anything for music but you can't Howard Stern every radio show right okay all right got to play something here what did I have marked here that I wanted to play oh life is a rock but the radio road meets Tracy Alman here on rock school BB Bumble and the Stinger's my The Hooper Rachel Stinger's Lonnie Mac and Twine and Eddie he's my ring we go and steady take it easy take me high lie lie some bad look a motion park a passion deep a plethora satisfaction maybe maybe got a got a gimmick in me getting out of sammy's cooking let's just go and reach your thalins and a story ma I wish to put you on a common suture I'm a lot of rich and fairy spectapare rush us all just nothing harry shimmy shimmy look a poppin poppin poppin poppin poppin poppin life is a rock but the radio road meets got to turn it up louder so my DJ

Senators Maggie Hassan Democrat New Hampshire and John Barrasso Republican Wyoming listen to the states New Hampshire

Wyoming little radio stations dealing with a smaller audience led their colleagues today this is March 2023 inducing a bipartisan local radio freedom act there you go let's use the same words the opposite way which states the Congress should not impose new taxes according to Maggie quote the local radio freedom act is a bipartisan resolution that underscores the critical importance of locally owned radio stations thank you to families small businesses and our communities and it declares the Congress should not impose any new performance fees tax royalty or other charges for locally owned radio stations she's right major stations in major cities do not need this as much like places like New Hampshire and Wyoming do small little towns small little radio stations that talk to you we just had some pretty nasty little storms come through Louisiana these past couple of days and so much

power is out there are trucks everywhere but you know what you turn on the radio they're going to tell you what's happening the station in New Orleans isn't going to worry about Hammond Louisiana but they do and that's where I live right right all right we got to play a song coming out of the break that sounds good here on rocks go oh i met the children what did you tell them video killed the radio star video killed the

radio star and in my car we caught three wind we've gone too far and in my car you were the first one you were the last one video killed the radio star video killed the radio star in my mind and in my car we caught three wind we've gone too far pictures came video killed the radio

star video killed the radio star it's in my mind and in my car we caught three wind we've gone too far pictures came broke your heart so put all the blame on the sea video killed the radio star video killed the radio star video killed the radio star video killed the radio star by the way i should have pointed that out to you we're in the second break here i should have pointed out

to you that was not the bugles that was the president of the united states the same way with reunion when i played life as a rock but the radio rode me supposed to be reunion but i thought Tracy Almond did a great great shot of it anyway text of the local radio freedom act states strongly that imposing new taxes on stations would heavily harm the station and create economic hardships from the bill it states whereas local radio stations provide free publicity and promotion to the recording industry and performers of music in the form of radio airplay interviews with performers and blah blah blah blah blah you should not have this it's absolutely the truth hear me out i understand that we've set it on this show multiple times that you do not need to pay anyone to distribute your music i pay about a hundred dollars a year to a website called distro kid every time i have a song that i want to get out there

i go to distro kid and i upload it and i say send it out to all these and there's a hundred checkbox i just check them all it it cost me a hundred dollars a year so what are we talking to nine dollars a month right to have this thing work okay fine lovely but now it's there there it is it is sitting on spotify i have four albums up on spot three albums up on spotify and i mean i think i think the number one most listened to song has twelve hundred listens you're throwing your stuff into the glut you're throwing your stuff into the middle i was more interested i did this with our christmas album i was more interested in taking the christmas album around to the radio stations in town because christmas is a weird time you need new music you need to spill time and such so i dropped these CDs off everywhere i could knowing

that one play on the radio to a local attentive audience was far better than the idea of it's sitting on spotify and me posting something about it on Facebook right that twelve hundred people have listened to whatever song it is they don't touch the people who heard it on the radio when it got played and furthermore if you can get the disc jockey to say something like wow that's from this album go listen to it you'll have a better chance i think i've said this too many times already but i got a book coming out all i want to do it's a book about radio so all i want to do is get on the radio to tell people about it right local radio sure it's going to be up on uh it's going to be up on what is the the one you like audible uh -huh it's going to be up there but it's in the glut yep how's anyone going to find it that you got it you got it you want your song promoted get it on the radio to begin with oh sure have it on the streaming

things but the belief that no one's listening to the radio is just simply not true who's listening to us that would be on the other radio w -o -u -b -a -tons ohio how about that -huh coming out of the break you ever heard of a rapper

named tom mcdonald no he's got a new song out called god mode um he also has one people are stupid they're funny if you want to go take a look at them they're really conservative the one you might know is he did a song with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro it's called facts and it's shot to number one according to tom mcdonald sony music showed up through a ton of money at him and he walked away saying good artists no longer need the record companies and they're looking for a revenue stream to make up the slack the companies are radio ain't to place to get it what i found really interesting is tom mcdonald said what helped him most send this song all the way up is that he was on podcast after podcast after podcast let's see podcast i wonder what podcast actually is oh it's radio you'll never

convince me me either no when joe when joe rogan is on there and does a three hour interview yeah it's it's just like when rush limbaugh did a three hour show i don't mean they're both conservative i mean the idea of somebody sat in the radio and listen to it well he's not on the radio but he's on your machine and you're streaming it like turning on a radio remember yeah okay let's play another one raspberries good men from cleveland make good overnight sensation here in rock school i'm not even in third issue i just want to hear the radio roll the radio and on the radio

century this has not been a problem People with deep pockets, Spotify, Pandora, TikTok Are saying that we don't want to pay anymore than we are right now Well, we got to get the money somewhere Hey, go get radio Honestly, I'm not a fan of it on any level Who are the two people?
